Gases Found
Both hydrogen and oxygen are separated through this process and can leak through the battery vents and disperse into the surrounding environment. The combination of Hydrogen and oxygen/air can be explosive if there is enough Hydrogen build-up. The amount of Hydrogen produced depends on the size and number of batteries and the size of the room plays a factor in the safety risk.
Safety
The best way to mitigate these risks is with a fixed gas detection system within the charging area. The Macurco GD-6 combustible gas detector is designed to detect, alert, and control devices to ensure dangerous levels of hydrogen are reduced.
